Definitions

  • This invention relates to a mould element having at least one open-ended mould cavity for a machine for making parallelepipedical moulded articles from a moist composition of sugar crystals, said composition being supplied to the mould cavities at one end thereof and compacted in said mould cavity by vibrating the mould element simultaneously as the latter is moved on a base member closing the other end of the mould cavity substantially parallel to one pair of opposite side surfaces of the mould cavity, the vibration taking place transversely ofthe direction of motion of the mould element.
  • One such factor will be the irregular distribution of the relatively inert composition of sugar crystals when it is supplied to the mould cavities at the one end thereof, while other such factors reside in the vibration of hte mould element and the relative movement between the mould element and the base member.
  • the height of the sugar cubes (usually 15-20 mm.) does not seem to influence the deterioration of the intended regular shape of the cubes.
  • the present invention provides a mould element of the type outlined in the foregoing, in which the abovementioned shortcoming has been eliminated in that the mutual distance between said two side surfaces has been made slightly greater at the leading end of the mould cavity, as viewed in the direction of motion, than at the trailing end thereof.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of a mould element as seen from the side which is to face the base;
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view on line IIII in FIG. 1.
  • the mould element illustrated is constructed substantially in the same way as the mount element shown in FIGS. 5-7 of the above-mentioned patent,
  • the mould element is a rod or bar of uniform thickness and rectangular cross-sectional shape, said bar having a plurality of open-ended mould cavities 11 distributed along it and extending between two oppposite longitudinal side surfaces of the bar, which is intended to bear against the base member B with one of said side surfaces (the one ice shown in the drawing).
  • the base member B may be a steel belt arranged as an endless conveyor.
  • each end has a substantially cylindrical pin 12 which extends at right angles from the end surface, said pins serving as means allowing the bar to engage a drive and control mechanism by which the bar is advanced in the direction marked by the arrow 13 over the base member which closes the one ends of the open-ended mould cavities, and also to engage-a vibrator for longitudinally vibrating the bar.
  • the bar inside each pin 12 has a surface portion 14 which is arranged in an oblique position at a small angle to the remaining surface, said surface portion 14 serving to raise the bar from the base member during the vibrating operation, as is exhaustively described in said above-mentioned patent.
  • the mould cavities 11 are substantially parallelepipedical and of the same size and shape as a conventional sugar cube, but according to the invention there occurs a slight deviation from the exact parallelepipedical shape in that the mould cavities for the reasons outlined in the foregoing are somewhat wider at that end which is to be the leading one in the contemplated direction of motion of the bar, said direction being marked by the arrow 13.
  • the deviation is but slight: if the width b of a mould cavity at the trailing end is 10.05 mm., the width b at the leading end of the mould cavity is equal to 10.20 mm.
  • the mould element according to the invention has been advanced synchronously at a speed of 15-20 m. per minute in the direction of the arrow 13.
  • the mould cavities of the mould element have been filled with a composition of sugar crystals while the mould element and the base member move approximately /3 m. and the composition of sugar crystals in said mould cavities has been compacted by similar vibration while the mould element and the base member likewise move approximately /3 in.
  • a composition of sugar crystals of uniform crystal population sugar cubes having a density of 0.95-1.00 gram per cu. cm.
  • a mould element for making parallelepipedical moulded cubes from a moist composition of sugar crystals by vibrating said mould element to compact said composition in at least one mould cavity formed by said mould element at the same time moving such element in a direction substantially perpendicular to the vibrating movement, comprising a bar having two opposite flat surfaces, said mould cavity extending through said bar between said surfaces substantially perpendicularly to the intended movement of said element as well as to the intended vibrating movement and opening at its opposite ends at said surfaces, at least one of said ends being closed by an external separate base member when the 3 l mould element is in use, two opposite flat end walls and References Cited two opposite fiat side walls bounding said mould cavity UNITED STATES PATENTS and joining each other at four corners thereof, said end walls being substantially parallel with each other and 2157570 5/1939 Rgynolds 107-8 being substantially perpendicular to the intended direc- 5 3O05420 10/1961 Wlkhmd et 107 8 tion 0t movement of said mould
